How To Train Your Dog Using The Electronic Dog Repeller

The electronic dog repeller is a wonderfully effective tool for deterring a dog with questionable intentions. Few people, however, understand that it can be a wonderfully effective training tool as well. Most people hear the name “repeller” and assume that the device’s sole purpose is to repel a dog that may intend on doing you harm. While the electronic dog repeller is great at doing that it is also a very humane instrument and causes the dog absolutely no harm and even comes equipped with a training setting that can be used to train your dog.
Having a dog myself, Kody our yellow lab, I understand the importance of properly training a dog. Kody is almost like one of my own children though and as such any training we did with him and any training I recommend anyone else do with their dog is going to be, above all else, humane. Although effective in deterring dogs the electronic dog repeller is still very humane and to such a degree that I would recommend it to anyone looking for a dog training device.
Here are some tips on training your dog with the electronic dog repeller…

1. Make sure the device is working properly by seeing how your dog initially reacts to the dog repeller. Remember that the device uses such a high frequency that it is not even detectable by the human ear, only the dogs. Most dogs will just try to leave the room immediately to get away from the noise; this will tell you that the device is in fact working.

2. Let me tell you right here and now that no command is more important for a puppy to master as soon as possible than the ‘sit’ command. Try and reinforce that one early and often in the training. If the dog does not sit when given the ‘sit’ command then press the button on the repeller and a very loud, high frequency sound will emit from the device and reinforce your command by letting the dog know it needs to listen next time or receive the uncomfortable noise.

3. The next most important command is coming when called. Follow the same rules as outlined in step 2 if the dog does not come when called. Again, this is a command to practice early and often.

4. Offer your dog a small reward (i.e. a piece of milk bone) when it does follow your command. Positive reinforcement is as important as negative reinforcement in the early stages of training.

5. Have patience. I don’t think I need to further explain the importance of having patience when training your dog.

With a little patience, love and reinforcement you will have yourself a best friend that is outgoing, friendly and obedient.

Why Personal Alarms Are Custom Made For Senior Citizen Self-Defense

Seniors have a multitude of choices when it comes to self-defense tools. However, all of these choices come with varying degrees of effectiveness and safety and so careful consideration and diligent research are always very important before making a decision as to which self-defense tool to carry.  In my opinion there is no tool of self-defense more custom made and perfectly suitable for seniors than a simple (yet extremely effective) personal alarm.

Personal alarms are simply a small handheld device, often in the form of a keychain that emits an extremely loud distress signal when a button on the alarm is pressed and when I say loud I mean 130 decibels of ear-splitting, attention directing loud too. That’s certainly loud enough to scare the heck out of some foolish purse snatcher who isn’t expecting much retaliation from a 75 year old lady. Aside from the scare it will put into any attacker, and perhaps more importantly, the alarm will draw the attention of anyone in the area. Attention is exactly the last thing that attacker wants when he or she is attempting to relieve a senior citizen of their wallet, purse, jewelry and potentially their life. Attention gets the cops called and bystanders involved and this will more times than not get the attacker running for the hills as soon as that alarm is pressed.

Personal alarms are also great because they make a wonderful alternative to much more dangerous forms of self-defense for seniors like stun guns, tasers, pepper spray, mace and firearms. All of those weapons I just mentioned are immensely effective in deterring an assault but they are also extremely dangerous and potentially fatal if used improperly. Also, most of those items are illegal in some areas without the proper licensure whereas personal alarms are 100% legal anywhere in the world.

Lastly, personal alarms cost a fraction of most other self-defense items and can be purchased for about the same amount as it costs to eat at a fast food restaurant. In my opinion it makes personal alarms for seniors a great investment and wonderful piece of insurance and peace of mind. So if you are a senior citizen looking for a little added insurance against the bad guys of the world or know a senior citizen that you’d like to help protect against these bad guys please seriously consider arming them with a personal alarm immediately.

If You Are Not Going To Install Apartment Alarms You May As Well Just Leave Your Door Wide Open

If you are one of the millions of Americans who reside in an apartment or condominium and have not taken the time or effort required to install an apartment alarm I would like for you to do me a favor. Next time you leave the apartments just leave the door wide open. That’s right, just leave it wide open for any Tom, Dick or Harry to walk right in and make themselves at home in your apartment. Actually, when you get outside your building just shout out loud to no one in particular “Hey, I left my apartment door wide open and I’m not going to be home for quite some time!”. Of course you will want to leave your apartment number so that any strange drifters you’ve just notified of your absence will know where to look and won’t waste time trying to break into your neighbor’s apartment.
I understand that this is an absolutely ludicrous request and one that makes absolutely no sense but in my opinion it is ludicrous that so many people are still leaving their apartment every morning to go to work, or at night to go out on the town, and leaving their residence completely unsecured other than the lock on the door. The fact of the matter is that apartment dwellers are almost 3 times as likely to experience a break in as is someone living in a single family home. Things really get ludicrous when you consider that home alarm systems are installed in a much higher percentage of homes than are installed in apartments. Although perhaps that is one of the reasons burglars more often choose to rob an apartment than a single family home, they might feel they have a lesser chance of triggering a burglar alarm in an apartment. This is precisely why apartment dwellers need to install some kind of alarm system immediately.
Also, home alarms are way more costly than the typical apartment alarm and much more complex and harder to install, so much so that a professional installation service is almost always required (which costs even more money!). The average apartment alarm takes about 10 seconds to install and costs about as much as lunch for two at a fast food restaurant. So when you consider the fact that these alarms are extremely affordable, extremely simple to install and you’re three times as likely to need one as you would living in a single family home it just doesn’t make a shred of sense not to install one today in your apartment or condo.

If You Are Serious About Self Defense You May Want To Find Out Where To Buy Stun Guns

I am of the opinion that every law-abiding citizen should have the right to defend themselves using something other than their own body. This is especially true for people who may not be as adept at handling themselves in a physical altercation with an attacker, like senior citizens and females. I am not implying that senior citizens and women cannot handle themselves in a physical altercation but that I think most of us would like to know that are grandparents, mothers, sisters and daughters would have some extra help and insurance should the unfortunate event arise where they find themselves potentially fighting for their lives. The help I am talking about is a non-lethal self-defense weapon; more specifically I am referring to stun guns.
Stun devices are extremely effective self-defense weapon that can be every bit as effective, if not more effective in some cases, than a firearm. The difference is that the person upon whom the stun device was used gets to live to see the next day and in almost all cases gets to do so without any negative, long lasting side effects. The same can certainly not be said for an individual who has been shot with a firearm. If a person who has been shot with a firearm is lucky he or she will have merely a trip to the emergency room to deal with. If they are less lucky they will suffer the same fate that thousands of others suffer every year from gunshots, death. I believe that even scumbag criminal purse snatchers should have, at the very least, a chance to redeem themselves and they can’t very well do that if they are dead, can they?
Stun guns do not work by injuring an attacker, nor do they work on the principle of causing an attacker great pain, as is the case with defensive sprays like mace and pepper spray. Stun guns work by incapacitating an attacker by disrupting his or her neurological pathways via an electrical current. Because the electric shock given off by the device actually disrupts their neurological pathways it makes it impossible for the attacker to “fight through the pain” as could be the case with something like pepper spray or even a firearm and is exactly what makes a stun device so effective. The electrical current is high voltage but low amperage and that is what makes the device such a humane alternative to other weapons as amps is actually what kills and not voltage as many wrongfully assumed.
There are literally hundreds of online stores that sell stun devices but it is important to check with your state and local laws to ensure that carrying such a device is in fact legal in your state. So please consider a stun device if you are interested in ensuring your own safety via a non-lethal self-defense tool.

The Cell Phone Stun Gun Is a Wonderful Alternative to Lethal Weaponry

There is not a day that goes by where multiple people in the United States are not killed by guns. Gun violence has become so commonplace that what I just said probably does not surprise or shock you in the very least and that in and of itself is truly a tragedy.  I live in the third most populated city in the United States and one that is well known for its crime rate and I will admit that the few times I watch the evening news (I prefer getting my news from a paper and I can pick and choose what sections of the paper to read) I view the gun violence stories and they are instantly forgettable to me. Forgettable because the next day there will be more new stories of people killed by guns that I can forget about until the next day after that when a new wave of fatalities hits the evening news. So every day that we wake up in the morning another parent will lose their child, child will lose their parent, friends will lose friends and hundreds of lives will forever be devastatingly altered because of firearms. Even if a firearm fatality occurs as an act of self-defense rarely does it not cause a great deal of grief for multiple people associated with either the shooter or the deceased. What makes this even more unfortunate is that it doesn’t have to be this way. It is possible to effectively defend yourself without having to resort to the use of a firearm and that is with something as simple as a cell phone stun gun.



The cell phone stun gun, like all stun guns, is an extremely effective non-lethal self-defense weapon designed to incapacitate an attacker using a jolt of high voltage electricity. The high voltage is what completely disrupts the attacker’s neurological pathways and essentially takes away the control they have over their own bodies. However, this disruption is temporary and because the jolt of electricity is also low amperage it does not kill the attacker nor does it leave them with any lasting negative side effects. Contrary to what some people may believe it is not volts that kill a person when they are electrocuted but amps.



Lastly, the cell phone stun gun is something many people can feel comfortable carrying because it is not so obvious that you are carrying a weapon of self-defense. This device looks exactly like a real cell phone upon even the closest of inspection. So please consider this alternative self-defense item if you really must carry something.

If Zimmerman Would Have Known Where To Buy Pepper Spray This Whole Ordeal Wouldn’t Exist

The whole situation surrounding George Zimmerman, the late Trayvon Martin, their families and the media in general is truly a sad an unfortunate one, as is any situation where a human being has lost their life. Whether you believe racism played a major role and that Trayvon was more or less murdered in cold blood or that Zimmerman was truly acting in self-defense the fact of the matter is that a young man has lost his life and parents have lost their child. Not to mention the fact that Zimmerman and his family, whether Zimmerman acted unjustly or not, has lost any semblance of a normal life that they could ever hope to experience after this tragedy.

I do not yet have an opinion regarding Zimmerman’s innocence until all the facts of the case are presented (as best they can be presented as half of the people involved in the incident can no longer speak for themselves). I will say however that I don’t agree with civilians walking around with concealed firearms as was the case with George Zimmerman. Zimmerman was licensed to carry the weapon he used to kill Trayvon Martin and so from a legal perspective he was not in violation of any law for simply carrying the weapon on his person but I just think it’s a recipe for disaster to have people walking around with loaded weapons and this latest incident should prove that.

Let us say though that Zimmerman’s account of the situation happened as he explained it to police and that Martin had attacked him and that Zimmerman was merely defending himself against this attack. That means that the crime of punching someone is now punishable by death in this case and that is grossly outrageous to me. Zimmerman, and any other civilian wishing to defend themselves, can do so without having to end another’s life and that is with pepper spray.

Pepper spray is an extremely effective alternative to firearms and can stop an attacker dead in his or her tracks without having to take that attacker’s life. Had Mr. Zimmerman chosen to carry pepper spray and not a firearm we would never have heard of either one of these guys. Trayvon would be around to tell his side of the story and both of their lives and the lives of both of their families would not be so dramatically, negatively and forever changed. Instead of a national news story that is once again dividing us all we’d have a little news snippet on page 2 of the local paper there in Florida.

So please, if you are one of the many Americans walking the streets with a concealed firearm, legally or otherwise, please consider a humane alternative to ending the life of another human and carry pepper spray instead.

Stay Safe,

Guard Alaska Bear Spray Is An Animal Repellent You Might Not Be Able To Live Without


Enjoying the great outdoors is something everyone should experience. Camping is a great way to get exercise, fresh air and can be a wonderful bonding experience between friends and family alike. Many of the camping destinations in the United States can be visited without necessitating animal repellents of any kind (unless you consider bug repellent). But anyone venturing off into wilderness inhabited by bears of any kind should absolutely, without exception, carry with them at all times some form of bear spray. There are a few brands of bear repellent spray available but the only one whose effectiveness I can personally testify to is a bear spray by Guard Alaska. Mace brand makes a bear spray as well and I would trust a leader in the self-defense industry like Mace but again I haven’t actually witnessed Mace bear spray repelling a bear. I have however witnessed multiple videos of Guard Alaska repelling a bear and it certainly seems to be the most popular bear spray out there today.
Bear repellent spray works on bears in exactly the same way that pepper spray works on humans. The main ingredients in both products are capsicum. Capsicum is what makes a hot pepper ‘hot’. It is also what stops an attacker, be it a bear or a human, as soon as it is sprayed into the face of either. It causes a severe burning sensation and causes swelling in the eyes that can lead to temporary blindness. All of that may sound very inhumane but when you consider the fact that defensive sprays leave no permanent adverse effects and that the bear is back to its old self later that same day it may not seem so inhumane after all. Plus it is certainly much more humane than ending the bear’s life by defending yourself with a firearm. Some studies have shown bear spray to be even more effective than firearms in some cases. If that isn’t enough of a reason to convince you to carry bear spray on your next camping trip I don’t know what is.
Lastly, Guard Alaska bear spray is completely safe for the environment as it contains no ozone depleting chemicals. That should be great news for any outdoor enthusiasts as the great outdoors can’t be enjoyed if we destroy it by way of harmful chemicals now can it?
So please, as a favor to your loved ones and as a favor to yourself please be sure to carry a bear repellent like Guard Alaska anytime you will be venturing into bear populated areas for any amount of time.
Stay Safe,
